Why use Microsoft antispyware, if it causes all these problems? There are other antispyware, mine comes with my antivirus, and my firewall will be coming out with it in the new version shortly.

All this because of the current trend that the more a program detects the better it is (disregarding what exactly it is it detects). That's what you get when the "fight against malware" gets out of hand and taken over by people who have every benefit in keeping the users dumb and uninformed, all under the name of "make a PC n00b friendly".

Don't get me wrong though, when they do work like they should, they are very good tools, but still should be used with some basic knowledge and common sense...
